Funny Spam - Egg on my face!

I had to share this with you, I thought it was pretty funny after..... a few minutes!

While I was off on paternity leave I received a card through the door saying I have a parcel with the incorrect postage amount on it and if I want it to head to the sorting office to pay the amount to collect it.

Sounds interesting I thought but I couldnt think if i had ordered something?

On the other hand a new baby was here and maybe this was a gift from someone?

Anyway, I made my way to the sorting office all excited like a kid on Xmas morning, wondering what could be waiting for me. On arrival I gave in my ticket and waited for the lady to find the parcel. A couple of minutes went by (you can imagine the tension) when she reappeared with a cardboard envelope. MMMMmmmmmmmm I thought.

£1.30 was the postage to pay, so I coughed up. Upon opening the envelope, I see some images that I recognise from being in the gaming industry.

YES THATS RIGHT...IT WAS ONLY A SPAM CD FROM AN ONLINE CASINO!!!

Well thanks to the company who sent it out, I didnt take up your offer but saved you £1.30. :no:

LOL,

Look into the bright side though. If it was indeed a gift for your new kid, then it worthed your curiosity for sure. Although I might call it bad luck rather than "karma". lols

I had exactly the same experience a few years back, only it was junk mail from my bank! :pissed:

I'd send it back without putting the postage on it. :)

Maybe the next day take all my junk mail, put it in an envelope and post it to them - again without paying the postage.

They'll get the message.

Which online casino?

Come on name and shame????

Shaun

Not sure I should name and shame, but it was an MG casino with a name that means 4 and Audi made a range of cars using the same word (not casino).

A while back I was getting 2 or 3 approved loan applications through the post from the 'different' companies all offering me £25k and all spelling my name wrong.

In the end I kept a few, tore them up, stuffed them in an envelope with some old vegitable I found in my fridge/top of the bin and posted them back. They pretty much stopped after that!

Mmmmm, that gives me an idea. :evillaug:
